Flexible Capacity Scaling

More developers when you need them. Fewer when you don't.

Add development capacity for a surge, then scale back when it passes — without recruitment cycles, redundancy risk, or unused salaries on the payroll.

When to scale

Four situations that justify flexible capacity.

Flexible staffing isn't for day-to-day operations — it's for the predictable and unpredictable surges that fixed headcount can't absorb.

You win a large project

Scope exceeds what your current team can absorb. Scale up capacity for the duration, then back down.

Seasonal or campaign peaks

Product launches, Black Friday builds, summer campaign rushes — predictable surges that don't justify permanent hires.

A key developer leaves

Notice period gaps or unexpected departures leave holes. We fill them immediately without a 3-month recruitment cycle.

A client accelerates timeline

The client moves the launch forward by six weeks. You need two extra developers this month, not next quarter.

How it works

Simple to start. Simple to change.

Four steps — and only two weeks notice required to scale back down.

01

Tell us what you need

Volume of work, duration estimate, skills required. A 30-minute call is usually enough to scope it.

02

We staff immediately

We draw from our existing team — no job ads, no CV screening, no waiting. Usually 3–5 days from agreement to first commit.

03

You adjust as you go

Need more? We add. Need less? We scale back. You give two weeks notice for changes — that's it.

04

No exit headaches

When the engagement ends, it ends cleanly. No redundancy, no notice negotiations, no equipment returns.

Common questions

Flexible capacity questions answered.

The questions Irish SMBs ask us most often.

We work in monthly increments. For a genuine surge project, a one-month engagement is possible. For ongoing capacity, three months is a more realistic minimum for the arrangement to be worthwhile for both sides.
For most skill sets, 3–5 business days from signing. If you need a very specific technical specialism (say, a particular framework we don't have someone available in), we'll tell you honestly — usually 1–2 weeks.
Yes, though it works best with a week's notice so the incoming developer can get oriented before they're expected to ship. Mid-sprint additions work better in Kanban-style workflows than tightly structured Scrum cycles.
Two weeks notice for any reduction. We'd rather you use us efficiently and scale down when the work is done than pay for unused capacity out of obligation.
No. The whole point of flexible capacity is that it moves with your business. The only notice requirement is two weeks for reductions — there's no financial penalty or early-termination fee.
We require all developers to maintain up-to-date documentation and clean handover notes throughout the engagement — not just at the end. If someone rolls off, we run a structured handover session before their last day.
